Great to meet you!

About Me “I believe it takes a village for a person to reach their highest self. My approach is rooted in compassion, guided by purpose, and held in peace.”

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work and more than 25 years of experience in child welfare, schools, psychiatric hospitals, crisis hotlines, home health, and community mental health agencies. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions.

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and multicultural, with a special focus on helping individuals move through anxiety, depression, and fear. I believe in honoring each person’s unique story and walking alongside you as you build resilience, embrace your purpose, and find peace.

What you can expect from me

When you work with me, you can expect a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where your story is honored. My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and multicultural, which means I meet you where you are and respect the unique experiences that shape who you are. Together, we’ll work to ease fear and doubt while building resilience, courage, and inner peace. You can also expect practical tools, encouragement, and steady support as you move forward on your journey to purpose and healing.
